Best Answer

These coins were issued in celebration of the Centennial and show a bobcat (lynx) rather than a cougar.

They were originally struck in an alloy of 80% silver and 20% copper but halfway through the year rising silver prices forced the Royal Canadian Mint to debase the coins to 50% silver. Roughly 24 million of each type were minted; it's difficult to tell them apart on sight.

An 80% silver version has a melt value of about 0.15 times the current price of silver while a 50% silver version uses a factor of about 0.10.

Silver prices change every day so any answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately. While it's not normal WikiAnswers policy to say "use the internet", that's the best approach in this case. You can check a site such as k. for the latest conversion factors.

About $4 per roll or at most $1.75 per coin.
